Abstract

A drug injection control device has a structure in which a rod lock screw-coupled to a piston rod can make a linear motion under restricted rotation within a rod holder with the rotation of a rod guide and the sub-linear motion of the piston rod. When the injection amount of drug is preset through an injection amount setting module to make a rotational motion with a dose dial in a housing to set the amount of drug to be injected by storing the twisting moment in a torsion spring, in actuating a drug delivery module switchably coupled to the injection amount setting module, the rod lock can make a linear motion by the sliding motion of a lock protrusion through a lock guide formed through the rod holder along the lengthwise direction on the rotation of the rod guide and the sub-linear motion of the piston rod.

Among the commercially available syringes for drug injection, pen-type syringes have functionality to feed multiple doses from drug containers, and the dose quantity is set immediately before the dose delivery. Since most of drug delivery device users have little experience, in some instances, it is desirable to provide the users with some types of indicators or information notifying that the dose delivery sequences were carried out and it is safe to remove the drug delivery devices from the dose delivery sites.

The injection amount setting module 100 includes a reset tube 110 switchably coupled to the dose dial 20 by the operation of the injection button 40, a ratchet tube 120 coupled to the outer side of the reset tube 110 to rotate at the same time, a scale drum 130 which slidably rotates along the axial direction on the outer surface of the ratchet tube 120, a torsion spring 140 having two ends coupled to the housing 10 and the ratchet tube 120, a spring base 150 to which the other side of the torsion spring 140 opposite to one side coupled to the ratchet tube 120 is fixed, a button plate 160 fixed and positioned in the dose dial 20 to perform the function of supporting the button spring 50, and an anchor 170 rotatably coupled to the ratchet tube 120 and slidably coupled to the inside of the housing 10.
The reset tube 110 is a structure having a hollow cylindrical shape, and includes a button coupling groove 111 formed along the circumferential direction on the outer circumferential surface for coupling of button legs 41 which constitute the injection button 40, a dial coupling protrusion 112 decouplably coupled to a tube coupling protrusion formed inside of the dose dial 20, and a tube coupling hole 113 coupled to the ratchet tube 120 to allow the ratchet tube 120 to rotate at the same time.
The ratchet tube 120 is a structure having a hollow cylindrical shape for receiving the reset tube 110 therein, and includes a drum guide protrusion 121 protruding along the lengthwise direction on the outer circumferential surface, an anchor coupling groove 122 formed along the circumferential direction to allow rotatable coupling of the anchor 170 on one side of the ratchet tube 120, a second tube coupling hole 123 connected to the first tube coupling hole of the reset tube 110, and a tube spring stop groove 124 which allows coupling with the end of the torsion spring 140.
The scale drum 130 includes a drum guide groove 131 formed along the lengthwise direction on the inner surface to match the drum guide protrusion formed in the ratchet tube 120, and a drum rotation groove 132 formed along a spiral shape on the outer circumferential surface to match a drum rotation protrusion protruding in a spiral shape on the inner surface of the housing 10.
The torsion spring 140 has two ends coupled to the spring base 150 and the ratchet tube 120, respectively, and during the rotation through the dose dial 20, one side 141 of the torsion spring 140 fixed to the ratchet tube 120 rotates, while the other side 142 of the torsion spring 140 fixed to the spring base 150 is kept in the fixed state, to get the spring twisted.
The spring base 150 is a structure which is positioned inside of the dose dial 20 and fixedly coupled to the housing 10 without movement, and includes a base spring stop groove 151 that allows coupling with the end of the torsion spring 140, and a ratchet 152 configured to generate a clicking sound when engaging with ratchet protrusions 22 formed in the dose dial 20 during the rotation of the dose dial 20. In other words, feedback on the injection amount is provided through the sequential contact between the ratchet and the ratchet protrusions formed on one surface of a dial partition wall 21 formed on the inside of the dose dial 20 along the radial direction by rotating the dose dial 20.
The button plate 160 is in the shape of a circular plate fixed and positioned on a first chamber formed on one side with respect to the dial partition wall of the dose dial 20, and includes a guide fixing hole 161 formed at the center of the button plate 160 and a plurality of button guide holes 162 radially formed with respect to the guide fixing hole. The plurality of button legs 41 that constitutes the injection button 40 is coupled through the plurality of button guide holes. In other words, the button plate 160 allows a stable linear motion of the injection button 40 and stable placement of the button spring 50 on the injection button 40. The button spring 50 is placed on the button plate 160 and when the injection button 40 is pressed, the button spring 50 is compressed to the lowest point being the button plate 160, and when the pressure is removed, the button spring 50 restores its original state.
The anchor 170 includes an anchor circumferential protrusion 171 protruding along the circumferential direction on the inner surface and a housing coupling protrusion 172 formed along the axial direction on the outer circumferential surface. The anchor circumferential protrusion 171 is fitted into the anchor 170 coupling groove formed on the ratchet tube 120, and the housing coupling protrusion 172 is fitted into an anchor sliding portion 11 formed in the inner surface of the housing 10.
In the unpressed state of the injection button 40, the dose dial 20 is rotated as follows.
The reset tube 110 coupled to a tube coupling teeth formed along the circumferential direction on the inner surface of the dose dial 20 is coupled to the ratchet tube 120 coupled through the other side of the reset tube 110 and is coupled to the scale drum 130 slidably coupled along a drum guide rail positioned in a straight line shape along the axial direction on the outer surface of the ratchet tube 120, and the scale drum 130 is coupled to match a drum guide spiral protrusion spirally formed on the inner surface of the housing 10. Through this, as a consequence, the rotation of the dose dial 20 allows the scale drum 130 to move a predetermined distance along the housing 10 and storage of the twisting moment of the torsion spring 140.
The drug delivery module 200 includes the rod guide 210 switchably coupled to the reset tube 110 by the operation of the injection button 40, the piston rod 220 screw-coupled to the outer surface of the rod guide 210 to deliver the drug from the cartridge embedded in the cartridge holder 30 by making a linear motion with the rotational motion of the rod guide 210, a rod holder 230 coupled to the cartridge holder 30 and through which the piston rod 220 is coupled along the axial direction, and a rod lock 240 screw-coupled to the outer surface of the piston rod 220 in the rod holder 230.
The rod guide 210 includes a guide body 211 having a guide spiral protrusion 212 separably coupled to a guide coupling groove formed in the inner surface of the piston rod 220, a guide rotation protrusion 213 protruding on the outer surface of one side of the guide body and separably coupled to a guide coupling groove formed on the inner surface of the reset tube 110, and a guide ball 214 protruding along the axial direction at the end of the guide body and coupled to a guide fixing hole formed at the center of the button plate 160. In other words, when the rod guide 210 is in a rotatable state in place without vertical movement by the guide ball coupled through the guide fixing hole of the button plate 160 fixedly coupled to the dose dial 20, the rod guide 210 is switchably coupled to or decoupled from the reset tube 110 through the guide rotation protrusion, and allows a relative motion by screw coupling with the piston rod 220 through the guide spiral protrusion.
The piston rod 220 has a hollow cylindrical shape through which the rod guide 210 is coupled along the axial direction, and includes a rod movement portion 221 having a lock coupling protrusion to which the rod lock 240 is rotatably coupled and a rod stop portion 222 having a stop step 223 to stop the rod lock 240 from rotating.
The rod holder 230 has a hollow cylindrical shape, and is fixed to the outer side of the cartridge holder 30 through a holder fixing step 231 protruding along the circumferential direction on the outer circumferential surface, and allows a linear motion of the rod lock 240 through a lock guide 232 formed therethrough along the lengthwise direction on the outer circumferential surface.
The rod lock 240 is screw-coupled to the outer surface of the piston rod 220 to allow a rotational motion with the linear motion of the piston rod 220.
The rod lock 240 includes a lock body 241 coupled to the outer surface of the piston rod 220, and a lock protrusion 243 protruding along the axial direction on one side of the lock body. The lock protrusion makes a linear motion along the axial direction of the cartridge holder 30 when it is inserted into a lock guide 232. According to the above-described structure, the rod lock 240 moves with the rotation of the piston rod 220, but only can make a linear motion along the lock guide 232 under restricted rotation by the lock guide 232.
Referring to FIGS. 8 to 11 , in the present disclosure, the rod guide is screw-coupled to the inside of the piston rod having the internal screw, and when the rod guide coupled to the reset tube is rotated in place with the rotation of the reset tube, the piston rod engaged with the rod guide is moved down to the cartridge holder.
The rod lock is rotatably connected to the external screw of the piston rod, and in this state, the rod holder is installed around the piston rod and the rod lock to allow the piston rod to rotate and the rod lock to make a linear motion.
When the injection button 40 operates, the rod guide 210 coupled to the reset tube 110 is connected to the inside of the piston rod 220 by screw rotation coupling to allow a sub-linear motion of the piston rod 220 through the rotation of the rod guide 210.
The drug injection control device according to the present disclosure as described above allows a structure in which the rod guide 210 rotates and the piston rod moving with the rod guide 210 makes a linear motion to stably inject the drug set through the dose dial.
The foregoing description is made to describe the technical spirit of the present disclosure for illustrative purposes, and it is obvious to those skilled in the art that a variety of modifications and change may be made thereto without departing from the essential features of the present disclosure. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed herein are provided to describe the technical spirit of the present disclosure and not intended to be limiting, and the technical spirit and scope of the present disclosure is not limited by the embodiments.
